अध्याय ४

 II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

तरी आत्मसुखाचिया गोडिया I विटे जो कां सकळ विषयां I जयाच्या ठायीं इंद्रियां I मानु नाहीं II 186 II
जो मनासी चाड न सांगे I जो प्रकृतीचें  केलें नेघे I जो श्रद्धेचेनि संभोगें I सुखिया जाहला II 187 II
तयातेंचि गिंवसित I तें ज्ञान पावे निश्चित I जयामाजीं अचुंबित I शांति असे II 188 II
तें ज्ञान हृदयीं प्रतिष्ठे I आणि शांतिचा अंकुर फुटे I मग विस्तार बहु प्रकटे I आत्मबोधाचा II 189 II
मग जेउती वास पाहिजे I तेउती शांतीचि देखिजे I तेथ आपपरु नेणिजे I निर्धारितां II 190 II
ऐसा हा उत्तरोत्तरु I ज्ञानबीजाचा विस्तारु I सांगतां असे अपारु I परि असो आतां II 191 II

Illustrating how to recognize KNOWLEDGE Lord Krishna said, the person who has experienced the Supreme Bliss finds the sense entanglements disgusting and hence do not pamper the senses. The vaasanas' or past impressions do not tempt him. He has mind open to everything but attached to nothing. The KNOWLEDGE comes in search of such a person. The true KNOWLEDGE is inherently associated with a peaceful disposition, implying that a wise person is calm, understanding, and not easily provoked, leading to a state of inner tranquility. When KNOWLEDGE takes root within, the peace sprouts like newly formed leaves paving the way for the Supreme KNOWLEDGE to spread across. When this happens peace is experienced everywhere.
